13. Tx-Rx Test for 2.4GHz Band (Transmit and Receive test)
1. Connect two devices with PC by USB cables and so both are power up.
2. Select one COM Port and clickconnect’ the device corresponding to that COM port is connected and select
“Initiate Peer Search” So other device connect by RF (RF Pairring). (Device connected to COM Port is
transmitter and other device is receiver)

3. When both the devices are paired, the following window appears and it is ready to perform PER (Packet Error
Rate) test. Tranmitting channel, number of frames (packets), Tx Power value can be configured from the left
side of the window.
